WHY CAN'T I USE " IN PYTHON???

>:-( I type this string of code into GUI and it says that the highlighted bit is syntax error??????
help me please

name=input("what is the hero's name? > ")
"name"
"name comes to a door, does he: A)walk away B)see if it is unlocked C)smash it open"
if choice==a "woose"
if choice==b "it is locked, better luck next time!"
if choice==c "it is torn off its hinges! But there are zombies here"
"what does he do?"
choice2=input("A)run away, B)fight for his life or C)wait and call for help > ")
if choice2==a "woose"
if choice2==b "he died courageously"
if choice2==c "three soldiers arive, he helps them destroy the zombies"
"continuing down a long tunnel, he notices water coming in through the walls. Suddenly it starts to flood and there is a door at the end"
choice3=input("does he : A)wait until it stops, B)go for the door or C)try to float > ")
if choice3==a "he drowned"
if choice3==b "the door is locked, he drowned"
if choice3==c "he survives, but only two soldiers remain"

Your code has many problems. Nothing but misunderstanding, really. Please return to the python tutorial and practice with extremely simple statements in the interpreter. Your posting style is incomprehensible. Please use code tags as shown in my signature.

Finally---oh yes, there's more---we need to know the version of python you're using for this program.

I suggest you put your idea for a text adventure on hold until you're more experienced. They are fun to play with but without OOP (classes) you'll soon be swamped in unreadable, undebuggable code. The worst part is that you'll spend most of your time trying to think of cool storylines and plots and never learn how to program.

Good thing MUDs aren't written in C or anything... that would just be crazy. (>.<)

It would perhaps provide the noob more insight to explain that data and process should be separate, and that either a concept of state can be passed along continuation pipelines to avoid creating global spaghetti conditions (where he's headed) or that common state can be blessed into existence in other ways (structs or classes). But just pretending that OOP magically makes all complexity issues go away is a disservice.

Umm, sure, whatever you say. No doubt all the "noobs" will appreciate your... .. making that clear?
